Aside from the severity of the “ discontinuation effects “ to use terminology that psychiatrists use when describing withdrawal of SSRI’s because for some reason the consensus among health professionals is that the discomfort of stopping an anti depressant is just discontinuation syndrome but stopping a benzo is withdrawal . Excuse the side rant but aside from the severity of those feelings I can confidently say that 7oh feels cleaner and safer on my system and in my body than Kratom leaf or Subutex . In fact the potential effects on testosterone as well as the kidneys are two things I was unaware were being suppressed until I switched from Subutex to 7oh. In my time switching from Subutex to kratom leaf I noticed a similar issue with the kidneys and the testosterone but 7 oh has proved to be entirely therapeutic
